In short, what are varicose veins?

Varicose veins are a permanent elongation and widening of the veins, causing them to become tortuous. They arise because of chronic venous disease. The main cause of their development is primarily venous hypertension, which is created because of damage to the venous valves, as well as obstruction, narrowing of the veins or their compression. When this happens, the blood does not flow in the right direction, i.e., there is blood stasis and backflow in the veins of the lower limbs. If the superficial veins are affected, the changes can be seen through the skin as unsightly bulges form.
